Against Time and Death

In stock

Two factions strive to shape the multiverse in their own images. You are an operative wholly devoted to one of these two powers, weaving your way through all of time and space, making changes throughout the vast swell of history to tip the balance of probabilities in favour of your masters. You’re about to meet your match.

 

Against Time and Death is a game about a forbidden relationship between elite operatives on opposite sides of a multiversal time war. Designed to be played asynchronously, players take turns setting scenes across the breadth of the multiverse, taking dramatic (or subtle) action within those scenes, and writing letters to each other as they explore their growing, forbidden relationship. Will one side defeat the other, or will you choose a more dangerous path together?

 

Inspired by the award-winning novella This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone.

 

- Two players: designed for asynchronous play.

- Tools: an ordinary deck of playing cards and a shared online document (or similar).

- Explore the multiverse: set scenes across all of time and space, creating grand or intimate encounters.

- High-stakes choices: balance the progress of the war against your wants and desires, the damage your actions inflict on the fabric of the multiverse, and the scrutiny of your superiors.

- Four multiverse playsets: written by the best game design duos in the business, to quickly launch your time war.
